Something may be wrong if monthly bleeding comes more often than every 3 weeks, or if it comes and goes without a regular pattern.


Possible causes:

  • The ovary may not have released an egg.
  • There may be growths (fibroids or polyps) or cancer in the womb, especially if monthly bleeding is heavy and not regular.
  • Taking the medicine called estrogen after menopause.
  • Some family planning methods—like the pill, implants, and injections—can cause you to bleed more often.
